Floormat Creep--What to do?
So my floormat keeps creeping forward and every morning I pull it back. Would hate to have it jam up under the pedals and cause a problem. Guess I have to punch holes at the back and tie it to the seat mounts.

Re: Floormat Creep--What to do?
Maybe a good amount of adhesive velcro on the back? usually cars have mounts to keep OEM mats in place. Does yours have them? Or is this an aftermarket mat?

Re: Floormat Creep--What to do?
Here's how they do it in the newer cars:
It just pops on to a small plastic stud and sits flush. The mats can never move.
You should try to do something like that....or maybe a similar idea using velcro.

I'll probably try the zip ties, but there is always this last resort :

Re: Floormat Creep--What to do?
I have pegs in the floor and holes in the factory mats. My aftermarket mats (a $200+ set I snagged from a used car) have tabs with clips to attach to the pegs.

Re: Floormat Creep--What to do?
This thread reminds me of the Jeep guy that posted here briefly. He was asking people about pedal and revving fetishes.
Who knows, maybe he was a floormat creep.
